Test Instructions
Here are the instructions for taking the adrenal and sex hormone panel for cycling women. It is important to read and follow these precisely in order to ensure accurate results.
This panel is perfect for cycling women that need some work on their adrenal and/or sex hormones.
This is an exciting at-home saliva test that accurately tracts the entire cycle of a female as well as the adrenal hormones!
Most tests are just a one day sample at a certain day of the cycle. As you can see in the real client’s results below, each day in the cycle looks different as the hormones do their dance that is supposed to fluctuate throughout the cycle.
You’ll never see the whole picture of what your hormones are doing with a single day sample. And what if your cycle is a different length and throws off where the in the cycle the sample is taken? This can radically skew your results. If you want to understand what is going on with your cycling hormones, you need to do cycling panel.
With this test you’ll get 11 different samples of estradiol and progesterone so that you can accurately see the dance that the female hormones do during the cycle. We can then see if the hormones reach high enough levels and how long they stay that way. We can also accurately see if the estrogen to progesterone ratio is balanced or tipped one way or the other. These are key factors to bringing balance back to the body and can only accurately be seen with a whole cycle panel like this one.
Additionally, you will also get readings of your testosterone, DHEA, melatonin and cortisol. This gives you important information if your hormone levels are not optimal in terms of where the breakdown in the process is happening as DHEA is the precursor building block for both sex and adrenal hormones. The 6 samples of cortisol over a single day will give a picture of how the body is responding to stress, inflammation, and blood sugar dysregulation. By seeing all of these together, we can get a great picture of how the Hypothalamus/Pituitary are doing regulating the hormones and support them in this endeavor.
By balancing sex and adrenal hormones and addressing WHY the hormones are not balanced, many symptoms correlated with periods and fertility will be minimized or even eliminated!
**If you are specifically working on fertility, we recommend this test packaged in the Reversing Infertility bundle.**
